From Palmettos to Prickly Pears

Prickly Pears & Bluebonnets

Hey ya’ll! I’m glad you’re here. I’m Paige Murray. I grew up in a small town in the Palmetto State of South Carolina. In 2014 I moved west to the land of Prickly Pears. I now live in the cowboy capital of the world on a Texas ranch with my husband, Ty. I’m a mama to my daughter Oakley & a step-mama to Kase. 

I ‘ll just get right to it. I love to cook because I love to eat! I believe food & and the way it brings people together is one of life’s greatest pleasures. I’m constantly thinking about food & get excited thinking of the next recipe I’m going to make & how delicious it’s going to taste. I get lost in cookbooks & love studying nutrition. 

I grew up eating Southern food & enjoying all the comfort it provides. However, after I graduated from Clemson, I became passionate about health & fitness. So I had a mission…to remake all the recipes I loved in life with healthier, whole-food ingredients & make them taste just as good. I cook with mostly quality meats, fruits, vegetables, healthy fats & whole grains. However, some recipes just taste better the good old-fashioned way so I share those as well because everything is ok in moderation! My Nana will be so happy to know I’m sharing her original recipes. 

One thing that hasn’t changed is my love for simple meals the whole family will love. I’m not a gourmet chef. I’m a woman who loves cooking for real life and then having time to enjoy family, our beautiful ranch, and our cute animals!
